toys for infants?




leigh_ann_


I went to target today to find a toy for my 5 week old, but I dont know what kind of toy to get her. I know they say to get ones that are black and white and maybe red. I thought about getting her the floor gyms but they are $30-50, would it be good to get it for her now or should I wait until shes a little bit older? I just feel like shes bored.. i know i know dumb feeling....
another weird thing that just came to me-do you think babys are affraid of the dark? I know that they where in the dark for 9 months but now that they are out in the real world could it happen? I have noticed that when she is fussy at night and shes laying on my chest she wines a little bit but when i put on our light on low she falls asleep pretty fast.. so am I crazy or could she be affraid of the dark??



Answer
The floor gyms are actually better now then later. The reasoning for this is that once they start moving around they won't use it as much, I started using one when she was a month old and had her do her "tummy time" on it and what not. Other toys or things to buy that I would recommend is soft books because it is an easy way for you to interact with her but she can also play with it on her own. Anything else like the soft blocks, or soft rattles, etc. Babies at this age don't actually play with too much but if you want to have these things around for when she does its easier than running out and buying it all at once.

As for being scared of the dark, my daughter is just over a year now and still sleeps with a soft light on in the hall outside of her room. she never slept in the complete dark without crying!

Moms of infants who celebrate christmas?

What are some good presents for a 5 months old who will just be turning 6 months on the 18th of dec.?

Also I need more things to do with my son now that it is winter and snowing outside! so what are good things to do inside?



Answer
Gifts for that age depends on how far along your baby is. If he is sitting up then you can get musical toys made by vtech that they can sit at and play with. Clothing works well, and books...lots of books. I have a 5 month old who will be turning 7 months on dec 24th...and I bought books, clothes, stuffed toys, his first hockey stick(lol) and I plan on getting a few toys that have lights and sounds. I think the most entertainment for my son at this age will be looking at the lights on the christmas tree.
As for activities inside, reading, tickling, playing with their toes. Let him watch you make supper, clean around the house. I dance with my son to my favorite music as well, and he really enjoys turning in circles with mommy.(plus it is exercise for me)
Also, consider buying a sled and a warm snowsuit for him and go out for walks on warmer winter days. The fresh air does wonders for them, and they'll enjoy the lights and sounds of winter. Enjoy your baby's first Christmas!
